(A/N: Hey! Not leaving you for a month this time! So glad to see that you guys are showing me so much support, thank you! I'm a couple of days later than I hoped to be this time around, but it's better than my last hiatus right? Speaking of hiatus, I was surprised when the author of Ascending had commented on here, and then even - coincidentally of course ;) - updated their story with a summary at the end. NOW I can recommend you guys to give it a read if you haven't already, it may have been left for a year but the summary was a good resolution to the story that I was satisfied with as a reader. Thanks for your kind words by the way jungkookies, I appreciate it! In regards to another comment though, I do realise where you're coming from about Caulifla ranting about Chi Chi all the time, I'd hoped to move away from that in the recent chapters but I guess the speeches that stood out the most were the ones that she ranted in. I'm really trying to nail Caulifla's character as I've been dissatisfied with it from a character building standpoint. I'd originally written chapters 1 and 2 of this story as self-serving, never intending them to see the light of day, so at the time I wasn't hugely fussed. By the way, to the person who (I think) talked about a Gohan x Kale match, sorry but that's not gonna happen here. Gohan is a faithful husband and Videl has no reason to instigate anything. The only other pairing that I MIGHT do in this story is a Cabba x Kale one, but at the moment I want to focus on the one at hand Anyway, onto Chapter 10!)


Chapter 10: Burying the Hatchet, and the Human

"How much longer do you think he'll be out for?"

"Hmph, probably another couple of hours, I don't know. Depends how mad the fool got. Idiot can't control his energy when he's mad"

"Helpful as always, Vegeta."

Vegeta was annoyed. He'd been enjoying a quiet training session, ignoring the rising power level Kakarot was reaching, before his evening was cut short when the Saiyan girl that his rival had been training, trekked into the Capsule Corp backyard (or back-airfield, given it's size) with said rival lugged over her shoulders, with the two younger brats in tow.

Bulma exhaled through her nose, confusion dominating her features. "Why did he flip out anyway? How did you even manage to knock him out?" Cocking her head slightly, the bluenette watched Caulifla closely as she waited for her answer.

The spiky haired female in question simply shrugged at the room's occupants. "The second one was easy enough, I just knocked him out before he could make it to a level I couldn't keep up with. His attention wasn't on me anyway," she exclaimed, gazing at the lightly squirming man on the infirmary bed. Discomfort seemingly encompassed his very being; every now and again his expression would contort in unease, and Caulifla

She couldn't empathise with him really; having never chosen to mate with another, and in truth avoiding the concept altogether, she didn't really know what it would be like to have something like a bond be broken, in terms of a mental toll at least. That said, she was quite aware of Saiyans being (almost) incapable of performing such an act, and how in the rare occasion it did, one of the two if not both, would go on a rampage. Struggling to comprehend how Goku could be distraught by the actions of a mate he wasn't bonded to, she opted for implicitly stating what exactly had thrown Goku off the rails, in the hope that she would find an answer in the blue-haired human. Or possibly Vegeta, given how he was a Saiyan too.

"Do Saiyans in this universe work differently?" she asked curiously. "Because no Saiyan on our side cares for anyone they aren't bonded to in the way that he does for his woman," she uttered the last word as if it were a disease.

It was at this moment that Caulifla realised she had let something slip, and it was both her addressees who responded in usion that caught her up. "You mean to tell me that Goku/Kakarot isn't even mated with Chi Chi/that overbearing nag?"

Caulifla held their gaze for a moment, before burning a hole in the ground with her widened eyes. "Ah shit…."

Vegeta laughed hoarsely, as if imagine his rival on his hands and knees begging his wife for some action, and spoke with a humourous tone. "Well now I understand why the dumbass seems so uncomfortable all the time. He probably hasn't had sex in months, maybe even in years! HAHA!"

Bulma on the other hand, while frowning at her husband's observation and amused howls, had the right idea. "How do you know that they aren't mated? Surely he wouldn't have told you?"

Caulifla huffed at the statement. She was hoping they wouldn't think about that. Now she'd have to reveal her snooping before she even told them why she did it in the first place.

Halting his rather obnoxious laughter, Vegeta joined in with his wife."I'm also curious. That oaf probably doesn't even remember what I told him about Saiyan culture, let alone understand and accept it."

Caulifla frowned. Why was Vegeta so adamant that Goku was stupid? He certainly seemed smart in her eyes. Smart enough to beat her Super Saiyan form when he was in his base, when he was vastly outmatched in power.

"Ugh, there's no smooth way to say it, really. I snuck into the house he brought me to at first, and heated up the bedroom with my ki, so the bitch would turn over. When she did I saw that there was no bite mark on her lower neck, like the one on your neck," she said awkwardly, gesturing towards Bulma in an attempt to take some of the attention off of herself. It didn't work.

"What! Why would you just sneak into their house for no reason?" Bulma gaped at Caulifla incredulously, while Vegeta merely smirked lightly, amused by the idea.

"I knew something about her that Goku didn't at the time, and I think it's best that he tells you rather than me. Not that I care or anything," she added hastily. "But it's probably better he tells you for, I don't know, therapeutic reasons and all that shit."

Bulma wasn't convinced. "Right. You'd better not be hiding anything from me."

"No Bulma, I think the little girl is right. I have a rough idea of what she's talking about and it's advisable that we sit it out and wait for the lummox to wake up."

Caulifla jerked unconsciously. "Little girl…..?!"

It was at this moment that Goku shuddered dramatically again, before this time writhing around for a moment and springing up into a sitting position. "What? Where am I? What's going on?" He turned, and came face-to-face with Caulifla, who watched him carefully. "Hey old man, remember what happened?"

That proved to be a mistake. Goku tilted his head for a second, and racked his brain. "Well, I remember coming back from the lake…..umm…..then you blinded me with a Solar Flare….and then….I saw-"

Goku's features instantly did a 180, and he growled in a primal fashion. Instantly recognising the sign, Vegeta stood up instantly. He'd experienced a crazed-Saiyan before, and it wasn't pleasant. Saiyans were known for being tenacious as it was , but add this to it, they were ferocious and unforgiving. Fortunately for him, he wasn't the target of Goku's to-be onslaught.

Sparks flew as Goku burst from the Capsule Corporation building, and his eyes darted from side to side, as if searching for something. Realisation kicked in, and Vegeta only just managed to catch a glimpse of the man as he disappeared into the air, whisked away by the Instant Transmission technique.

Bulma gasped when the ground began to shake, and Caulifla winced and put a hand to her forehead when the previously faint energy signature of her trainer suddenly exploded, matching the tectonic ripple.

"What the hell is going on? " Bulma yelled. "Is Goku doing this?"

Vegeta's reply was short and powerful. "Yes. He's gone rampant."

Caulifla grimaced at the fact, and blinked in surprise when Goku's energy vanished from the face of the planet. Why couldn't she sense him anymore?

As if he heard her telepathically, Vegeta grunted through Bulma's terrified yelps. "He's transformed into a Super Saiyan God. We'd better catch up to that moron before he does something irreparable." With that, the Saiyan Prince rose into the air and took off. Taken aback, Caulifla followed suit, almost losing sight of the man she needed to follow.


Piccolo paused in his teachings. Gohan also looked up, though Kale seemed completely oblivious to the monstrously high power level that loomed over them.

"Can you feel that energy, Mr. Piccolo?" Gohan whispered into the silent air that the Lookout held. "It's my dad, but what would get him so….riled up?"

Intrigued, the Namekian zoned in on Goku's energy a bit more, and after a little poking around, he found his answer. "He's distressed, but I don't know what about."

Kale chose this moment to speak up. "W-what's going on? I don't sense anyone near us, or anyone strong besides us."

Gohan looked down at Kale, who was still sat in the lotus position that Piccolo had taught her, and smiled. "Well, that's because my dad's in one of his god forms, and god ki can't be sensed by people that haven't had any exposure to it. Me and Mr. Piccolo have been around my dad, Vegeta, and even Lord Beerus for quite a while, so we're able to sense it now. As for what's going on, well I don't know. I think it's best we don't intervene, because it looks like Vegeta and your friend, Cauliflower or something wasn't it?, are headed there already."

Amused by Gohan's mispronunciation, Kale giggled lightly. "Oh, ok then."


"Hello there Bulma!" Whis greeted excitedly. "I know it's late for you Earth dwellers, but do you have any ramen lying around? We've ran out and my staff has also had it's stocks relinquished. Lord Beerus here is getting quite antsy with me about it."

Bulma blinked in surprise. Could they not sense Goku's energy like Vegeta had?

"Uhh, sure Whis, let me go and take a look. By the way, do you sense Goku around? Vegeta was pretty alarmed earlier, and he hasn't gotten back from following him yet."

"We'll deal with it when we get our ramen!" Beerus interjected rudely.


"Shit. It took us so long to get here, his energy's grown even higher. Damn it all, why does he have to use his pathetic Instant Transmission?"

Caulifla smirked. It may have been at the expense of them both, but she was getting a kick out of seeing the Prince get all flustered.

It had indeed taken them a while to reach Goku though. Clearly he'd found this target of his, possibly Chi Chi, probably the guy she was with. While Caulifla couldn't outright sense the Super Saiyan God's ki, she could feel the pressure it emanated, and could pick up faint flickers in Goku's energy, which she supposed was a a start.
Finally Vegeta stopped in the outskirts of a city, just around the corner of an empty parking lot, that Caulifla presumed Goku was present in.

"Alright woman, we've finally caught up to the bugger. Keep your wits about you until he comes into view; if you can't detect his energy you'll have no idea where he'll be."

Caulifla was not impressed with His Highness' words."Tch, it may be a step up from 'little girl' but there is no way I'll follow your orders if you address me like that."

Vegeta huffed, and knowing he didn't have time to argue with her, he just brushed it off and moved closer, levitating in the air just a little, an action that Caulifla imitated as they drew closer to Goku and his victim..

Before long, Vegeta paused and stared at what was in front of him. "We can move in now. As little as I care for your well being, I expect Kakarot would, so I'm telling you to be careful, he'll be unpredictable and he won't hold back. In this state of mind the only presence he'll care about is his target, and he won't hesitate to attack anyone who tries to get in his way," he grunted.

Caulifla took joy in the bead of sweat that had gathered on Vegeta's forehead. "Are you scared? Huh, I guess the prince isn't as tough as they say he is," she gloated with sarcasm.

"YOU TOOK HER AWAY FROM ME YOU BASTARD! YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!"

Turning the corner, she gaped at what she saw. Of course the target was the man that the woman had been caught with, but that wasn't what struck her. This was Super Saiyan God Goku, the one with red hair that she remembered from the Tournament, but something was different. Though she should have been shaken by what she saw, she was experiencing quite the opposite: awe.

While the red hair and thinner body remained the same (yes, she had picked up on it), just about everything else was different. The once-dazzling aura was replaced with a twisting, venomous-looking fire, that engulfed Goku's entire body. Not only this, but the eyes were terrifying once Caulifla got a good angle to see them. There were no pupils, just empty, white, shells of Goku's being.

Vegeta and Caulifla decided to observe as the event unfolded, Caulifla in particular, as she wanted to see some retribution. All of a sudden, Goku's aura expanded once again, and Vegeta's eyes widened at what was happening. "That's…."

"Woah, what's that move?" Caulifla question, her eyes lighting up in wonder. "I haven't seen this one before."

Her question was answered when the fiery red aura began wrapping around the culprit's body, enveloping him like the very air around him, and it looked as though it as holding the man in stasis, preventing him from moving or reacting.

Surprisingly, Goku spoke next, and his voice was icy, dripping with pure hatred and lust for vengeance. He struggled to get the words out; what little of his rational thought must have been trying to hold off going mad.

"Do you like this move? I've used it once before, but this time I'm going to use it a little more…..painfully." With that, he stuck to his words and began tensing, and the red hue followed suit, coiling around the man in a snake-like manner. It made him scream in agony, and the fine movements he could perform before were little more than twists of the neck, and they only got more limited and desperate.

While this was all going on, Vegeta had folded his arms across him chest, and he grinned, almost approvingly. "Well, I've no idea who this bastard is, but it's a good change to see Kakarot torture an enemy for once. I think we should wait for him to finish off the guy before we intervene."

"For the first time, I actually agree with you."

It wasn't long before Goku got bored of his technique, and instead changed to just pummelling the man into the ground, blow after blow wreaking havoc to both his bones and the ground beneath him.

Minutes passed until this savage, new Goku, threw the almost lifeless body to the wall, and began screaming in his face.

"YOU TOOK HER AWAY FROM ME! YOU…..TOOK…...HER…...AWAY!" Goku roared ferociously, and battered the man with a punch after every word.

With one final scream, he gathered two giant beams of energy in each hand, and brought them together, before unleashing the fury on the disfigured pulp, now barely resembling a person and likely saying their prayers in their last few seconds.

"BASTAAAAARD!"

Vegeta examined the stain that was once a man, and offered one of his signature humphs. "Well, I'm certainly impressed. It's refreshing to see someone else obliterate their enemies for once," he exclaimed, before looking back at the man he so rarely praised, who was now crouching down on the ground, and by the looks of it he was growing increasingly angry and out of control. "Shit." He got into a defensive stance, ready to strike if he was targeted. Caulifla did the same, but luckily Goku didn't appear focused on them.

Wrought in his misery, Goku howled in emotional pain, and his red flames were extinguished by a bright blue jet of ki. It rose and rose, climbing into the air like an uncontrollable skyscraper.

Caulifla dropped her stance and gazed at the beacon of energy, bedazzled and entranced by it. It was such a raw, enticing energy and she felt herself yearning for the same heights. How could someone get this strong. Sure, she'd seen Goku or that Jiren show more powerful feats, but then she was just an observer. Now she was up close, experiencing it herself.

It would be better if it wasn't destroying the city around them, though.

"Alright Kakarot! That's enough! You've had your fun, now calm down before I knock some sense into you!" Vegeta roared as he powered up to his Super Saiyan Blue form, fuelled by the battle lust that was being ignited in his body.

He charged, and it was at this moment that a bright green sphere containing two bodies appeared from nowhere.

"Hmm, what do we have here?" Beerus mused, secretly impressed. "Goku doesn't seem to be acting normally."

"Shall we intervene just yet, Lord Beerus?" Whis asked simply, also curious as to what could have sparked this event.

"Not yet Whis, I want to see just what is going on over here. Get me some of that ramen while we have some here."

Whis sighed. This was why they had none in the first place.

Back below them, Vegeta was struggling to even get a hit on Goku. The 'low-class' warrior had since gone on the offensive, his white pupils still clouded over in pain and suffering.

Fury did wonders for a Saiyan's attacks, and Vegeta was on the receiving end of some pretty nasty ones. He blocked as many of them as he could, but Goku was on a very furious assault. He would jab to the right, and Vegeta would parry the blow and attempt to land his on onslaught of blows, but it proved fruitless as he was slowly being pushed back.

"Hey woman!" Vegeta yelled at Caulifla, running out of options, and having not noticed Beerus and Whis floating above them. "Get your sorry ass into the fray and try to calm him down or something!"

Caulifla looked over to the fight incredulously. "Me?! What the hell am I supposed to do?!
I've only been a Super Saiyan 3 once before, and you're telling me I'm gonna have to fight an enraged Super Saiyan Blue?! Ugh, fine!" Unmatched though she was, Caulifla was no pussy. She would rather dive headfirst into an unwinnable fight than avoid it like a little bitch.

And just like that, Caulifla had jumped into Super Saiyan 3, as well as the fight, and she noticed a way she could take advantage of the fight.

Goku, in his crazed state, was paying attention to nothing but the person he was attacking, which left him open. If she timed it just right…...THERE!

She leapt upon the opportunity as Goku closed in on Vegeta's retreating head, and dove on top of his shoulders, grabbing him by the neck and holding on tightly. Knowing that he still possessed some cognitive thought, and thinking something up on the fly, while also not thinking about the nature of her words, she whispered something rather crude into his ear, with just the right amount of provocative tone to it.

"Why do you care about her if she never lets you fuck her?"

That did the trick.

Goku froze on the spot, seemingly taken aback by the obscenity that Caulifla had uttered into his ear. Vegeta instantly capitalised on it, sending a whopping blow into the man's gut and propelling him into a wall, where he remained just long enough for Vegeta to fire a giant beam of energy at him. Seemingly down for the count now, Goku's static blue hair reverted back to black, and his unnerving, pupil-less eyes closed.

"I know I told you to distract him, but what the hell did you do to him?" Vegeta marvelled.

"Don't worry about it. Tch, this is the second time today that I've needed to lug him around."

Beerus and Whis descended from their spot in the air, the god having finished his pot of ramen, and he seemed somewhat pleased that he hadn't needed to intervene. "Well, seems you Universe 6 inhabitants come up with some odd yet effective strategies. Don't worry though, your secret is safe with me," Whis spoke up jokingly, causing Caulifla's cheeky to flush and turn a slight shade of pink.

"Well," Beerus began, "I want to get back so I can eat my ramen, so you lot had better make this quick."


Bulma had had enough of this for one day. It was stressful to see your best friend go insane by something another very good friend did to them, though she still wasn't sure what. On top of that, she and the rest of the West City inhabitants had to put up with earthquakes for the past hour or so, and then Bulma had to deal with the nail-biting tension at feeling her husband fighting-and being beaten. She didn't know how she could point it out, given that she wasn't a Saiyan, and hadn't even learned to sense ki, but it still set her on edge anyway. She'd even, for some odd reason, heard a faint screaming in her mind, familiar though Bulma couldn't put a finger on it.

As the bluenette paced about the room she'd occupied since the three Saiyans had left, she jumped out of her skin and wailed when said trio disregarded courtesy, and leapt back into the room, through the gaping hole that Goku had left. Said Saiyan was currently looking worse for wear, once again being hoisted up by Caulifla, who herself looked pretty untouched for what Bulma had correctly deduced as a fight. Vegeta probably looked the worst out them all though, his face was covered in bruises and he was bleeding from cuts that plagued his entire body, including parts that had been exposed by his half-destroyed Saiyan armour.

"Hello everyone!"

Annoyingly, the next occupant of the room arrived too. Beerus and Whis were the last addition needed to completely cramp the infirmary room that Goku had rested in earlier, if you could've called his writhing and squirming 'rest'.

"Come on guys! This room is tiny!" Bulma exclaimed, and without much pleading against it, she led them all out to the balcony of Capsule Corp.

"What am I supposed to do with him now?" Caulifla complained, getting tired of hauling Goku around. "I don't want to be carrying his unconscious ass for the next hour!"

"I recommend that send him back to his wife," Whis offered, oblivious to the woman's actions."If he's going to be knocked out for the rest of the night there's no need to keep him here."

Caulifla unconsciously tightened her grip on the man considerably, and everyone else noticed her expression contort into a scowl. "That will not be necessary," she spat venomously. "Not only will I not approach that harpy unless it's to blast her, Goku will not want to be left with her either."

This surprised all but Vegeta, who just snorted his approval of her threat. "Perhaps you should consider taking a trip there after all."

Bulma gasped and smacked Vegeta on the arm. "Vegeta! How could you say that?" she reprimanded reproachfully, before whaling on Caulifla: "Why would you say that?"

Caulifla didn't like this group enough yet to act all chivalrous with them, and all she really wanted right now was some much needed rest. Kale was gonna be late getting back from wherever the hell she went today, because her ride home was conked out in Caulifla's arms, certainly not fit for bustling about in his state, and this was enough to rile her up as it was.

"I've already told you, it will be better for him to tell you. As much fun as I would have ruining the abstinent cow's reputation, I think it's better he do it. You saw the looks on the boys' faces when we got here," she huffed. Bulma kept at her indignant demanding however, and she was whittling away at Caulifla's patience like a woodpecker to a tree.

Luckily, all tension was diffused when Whis spoke up. "Well we shan't be staying for long, and we want to know about any episodes someone as strong as Goku experiences. Therefore, I'm afraid that I'll need to awaken him prematurely if Caulifla is unwilling to reveal what provoked such an incident."

With that, he pointed his staff at the Saiyan in said unwilling girl's arms, and with a bright light, all of Goku's injuries were healed in an instant, and Caulifla found herself in a very awkward position as the sleepily waking prodigy opened his eyes and looked at her groggily.

"Uhh….what...where…" he muttered, and a second later his eyes widened and his face flushed.

He sprang from Caulifla's grasp and landed on his feet somewhat gracefully, though mumbling to himself all the while. Looking around the room in an attempt to gather his bearings, he froze at the remembrance of earlier. Sharply, he whipped around to face Vegeta, his expression immediately darkening.

"Is he dead?" he growled at the Prince intimidatingly. Vegeta sighed. "Yes Kakarot, he's dead."

Goku visibly relaxed into the chair he had just sat down in, and while his tenacity diminished, his anger had not subsided. This was visible too, as the tormented Saiyan smacked his fist down on the glass table, shattering it. "Bastard, took my wife away from me. I should have tortured him and watched him bleed out."

Bulma looked aghast. "Goku, wha-"

"Why would she do this to me! We've been married for too long for her to….."

Goku chose this moment to break down, careless of how Vegeta, Caulifla, and even the deities would react. Whilst he wasn't crying, it was probably worse to see a lack of emotion from him; his jet black pupils fixated on the floor.

Bulma was still a bit slow on the uptake. "I don't understand. What's Chi Chi done to upset him?"

Caulifla huffed for what felt like the umpteemth time that day. "You're the smart one, aren't you? Think about it. Why do you think he's been told to leave the house multiple times?"

Eyes widening, the bluenette finally got the message. "You can't be serious. Chi Chi would never do such a thing!"

Goku suddenly stood bolt upright. "Cauli, we're leaving. Take my hand."

Secretly overcome with waves of relief, Caulifla eagerly followed Goku's request, and in an instant they were gone.

Whis frowned. "Hmm, family feud was it? Perhaps this wasn't quite as life-threatening as I'd originally believed."

Beerus didn't really seem to care. "Whatever Whis, let's just go already, I want my ramen!" he ordered, and the blue angel sighed at the god's antics. "As you wish my Lord. Pleasure as always Bulma, thank you for food once again!"

In the space of about ten seconds, the party of six had sliced itself into a third of what is was, leaving Vegeta and Bulma alone on the balcony.

"Goku didn't seem to even register that Goten and Trunks were here at all! Has his mind gone that far astray? Should we be concerned? What if he goes mad again?"

"You talk too much, woman," Vegeta replied stoutly, before following her into the building


Kale had jumped in surprise when Goku and Caulifla has just appeared out of nowhere, grabbed her, and promptly left the Lookout in a flash. When Goku dropped them off, Caulifla eyed Kale, her gaze telling her to go inside and leave the two alone for a moment.

Preparing to morosely fly off to Grandpa Gohan's house, Goku paused to face Caulifla for a moment. She took the opportunity to ask him: "What are you going to do?"

Goku sighed wearily. "I don't know. I'll decide in the morning. Probably just train to keep my mind focused on something else."

Caulifla stared, and held her gaze on his eyes. They were clouded over in mental fatigue, immersed in the trauma of the past couple of hours, and they matched his drained demeanour. Uncharacteristically, Caulifla felt bad. It was likely her arrival that spurred this on, and while she thought badly of the two's relationship anyway (even though she'd really only seen a fraction of what Chi Chi would do to manipulate, she still hated it), she didn't expect Goku would have been so attached to his failing marriage.

Softly, Caulifla took Goku's arm and tried to bring him in with her. "Stay with me."

Upon looking at the man's confusion, she continued. "I know you'll just go flying about aimlessly in the air, so at least this way I can monitor you," she smiled softly, her snarky attitude not present for once.

Goku seemed hesitant for a moment, but his exhausted brain relented and told his body to follow.

Ending up their bedroom, Caulifla surprised Goku by immediately lying down and looking at him expectantly. He attempted a little half-hearted banter. "This is a little out of character for you isn't it?"

Caulifla actually giggled at that. "Oh shut up. Be thankful I've saved you the loneliness by getting you to stay here."

Exhaling breathily, Goku gave in and joined her. He had to give credit where credit was due, Bulma made pretty good beds. Or maybe the comfort was due to the heat of another body. Goku didn't know anymore, Chi Chi hadn't slept with him in a long time, let alone 'slept with him'. Whatever, he was comfortable for once, a luxury he rarely got to experience anymore.

Over the buzzing in his ears, Goku managed to pick up a muffled sentence. "I'm sorry Goku." He responded by wrapping his arms around her, something that the girl thought about protesting but decided not to.

"I'm sorry too."

Caulifla missed the opportunity to ask him what exactly he meant, as the light snoring she could hear were indicative of his sleeping, and it was only a few moments later that sleep lustfully claimed her too.

Held together in an embrace, the two slept in satisfaction.

(A/N: Whew! Was this 'doozy' enough? Lots of progression made in this one! I struggled to get the mood(s) of this one right, but hopefully I did okay in the end! I had a lot of ideas for how I wanted to approach the situation with, and I think this scenario was probably the best one. While I don't have much else to say, I'd like to thank you guys for being so supportive, even after I left for a decent period of time. You seem very engaged with the story, and though I obviously can't fulfill everyone's requests, it certainly makes it easier for me to make story based decisions. Therefore, it would be great if you guys kept it up, it really does help!)
